Letter to Secretary (Posts) i/c/w request for convening supplementary DPC on actual calculation of vacancies, linking to repatriation of existing Group B officer working outside their Circles.

No. GS/AIAIASP/PS Gr.B/DPC/2013 dated 30/12/2013

To,

Ms P. Gopinath,

Secretary,

Department of Posts,

Dak Bhavan, Sansad Marg,

New Delhi 110 001.

Subject: Request for convening supplementary DPC on actual calculation of vacancies, linking to repatriation of existing Group B officer working outside their Circles.

Respected Madam,

IPASP Association intends to bring to your kind notice that there is promotional hierarchical imbalance at different level of IP to Group B and JTS Group A due to miscalculation of vacancies while convening DPC. As a result department is resorting to the officiating arrangements time and again or handing over dual changes of divisions to the suffering of cadre that further leads to deteriorating of postal services. But unfortunately no care is being bestowed towards the welfare of IP cadre and their timely promotions, supplementary DPC and repatriation as well. In order to avoid such an effect and the best way for improving the efficiency of a given task, the association has suggested many ways and means by writing on different issues but all these letters have been discarded without any remedial actions. Some of the instances are as under:

Supplementary DPC of the left out vacancies from the extended zone of consideration is a part of main DPC and should be convened immediate after completion of one month against left out vacancies so as the officers in the extended zone may not be deprived of their legitimate right and benefits. It is also the established law that if the consideration for promotion gets delayed for no fault of the employee who is found fit for promotion in that vacancy year, then natural justice would require grant of the benefit of promotion with retrospective effect from the date of occurrence of the vacancy. This has held by the court of law in various cases. In the year 2012 but after regular DPC-2011, 23 vacancies were left vacant depriving equal number of senior most officer of this right that too keeping DOP&T instructions at stake. In the vacancy year 2013, vacancies occurring in December 2013 have not been taken into account leaving a chunk of vacancies of the given year. It is not understood how to fill this gap. Now no action to convene supplementary DPC has been initiated.

In the recently held DPC another glaring irregularity of promoting far-far junior ignoring right of senior was pointed out vide this association letter No. CHQ/AIAIPASP/PS Gr.B/DPC/2013 dated 16-11-2013 but no action to rectify the irregularity by conducting review/ supplementary has been taken. It will not be wrong to mention that rules are interpreted to the individual suitability as no uniformity is being maintained while repatriating the Group B officers. It is not understood why the department is adopting tortuous attitude towards the demands of IP cadre whereas all other cadres are given due and timely settlements to their demands even if it may be a case of choice posting of any individual officers/ officials.

IP/ASP Association in the recent past raised issue on the arbitrary and illogical orders issued by Directorate, prescribing a compulsory service of minimum of 2 years in RMS/Postal side for being eligible for promotion to the cadre of ASP and a compulsory service of minimum of 3 years in RMS/Postal side for being eligible for promotion to the cadre of PS Group B. Nobody sitting at the helm of affairs tried to explore the actual position and know how possible would it be to implement the aforesaid orders when there is a ration gap of 90:10 in IPO/ASP: IRM/ASRM. Now, the result is that all the promotions from IP to ASP have been blocked by circles jeopardizing the promotional prospects of IPs/ASPs in all the Circles.

As there is wide spread discrimination toward the cadre so this association request your kind honour to review the cases of IP/ASP and issue orders for convening supplementary DPC, cause immediate repatriation of all Group B officers completed one year in outside Circles and take necessary action to withdraw the mandatory condition of aforesaid service, which is per-se detrimental to the interest of the cadre and department.
